I suggest you ...

offer the option to sort feed/stream results by language.

It would be convenient to be able to remove tweets in certain languages from my hootsuite streams. I am concerned that I may miss important tweets because I'm scanning over tweets in German, Danish, etc...

    We’re happy to spread the word that users are now able to add a language filter to search. When adding a search stream, use lang:de or lang:es, etc. before the search term to only pull in tweets in that language.
    If you have questions or concerns, please leave them in the comments below! Thanks for your feedback!

        Hey Chris...just how long do you need to review this suggestion? Wouldn't simply adding filter by language menu in search by keyword be a good way to start? I mean it has been a year now since this idea floated by...

        Has this feature been added yet? Too much foreign language clutter in my feeds that I'd love to be able to filter out!

        I use geocode (ex: geocode:50.632768,5.5703771,125km which means 125Km circle around Liege, Belgium), which allows me to spot right on the people speaking French and tweeting around our place

        Highly needed, if you'd want Hootsuite to be used by international customers!

        When will this ability come to Hootsuite? Thanks in advance!

        that's one of the things I really think it is missing. filtering a keyword stream by language, the same way we can do it on search.twitter.com

        i'd love to see this feature asap... Theres so much clutter in the search streams now. Too much.

        Would be great for brand monitoring within our sales territory - having ALL of the search operators available within the twitter search function would be great.

        Filtering based on language would help to make Hootsuite a great tool for monitoring our brand, which is now hardly to do...

        Would love this feature on Hootsuite. Would provide me with much more useful searches.

      • AlexAlex commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Agreed- I definitely need something to filter out non-English results. If it can be done on plain and boring search.twitter.com, I'm pretty sure HootSuite could handle this :)

        Similarly, I would like to remove 4Square (and other) messages from my streams.

      • Katie RKatie R commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Yes please - many of my streams pull up tweets in German, which are of no use to me. I would love to be able to exclude non-English tweets from my searches
